If you fire up your dusty PS3 right now you will be greeted with a system update containing firmware 3.61. Once installed, you will be instantly required to change both your PSN and Qriocity passwords. This ensures that the information the hackers stole will no be valid. As stated before, not all the features of the PSN will be restored, but some major ones will be.
